ABOUT BIG BEAVER
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

We are a community of faith rooted in the love and grace of God,

seeking to live out our faith by loving our neighbors, serving our community,

and living with compassion, humility, and hope.

OUR MISSION

“Grow more like Jesus. Together.”

We’re convinced that faith is not meant to be lived alone, but nurtured through worship, growth, service, and relationship. Together we practice following the way of Jesus that we might reflect God’s

love and grace, reach new people,

and help to heal a broken world.

WHAT WE DO

We offer a variety of ways to grow in faith and put your faith into action,

including worship services, Bible studies,

community outreach, choirs,

opportunities to connect,

activities for children & youth, and missional opportunities.

OUR COMMUNITY

We are proud to be a part of the Troy community. Our church is a place where friendships are formed, lives are transformed, and faith is lived out through service and support for one another.

Rev Susie Hierholzer
